By bringing down oil prices, Trump will squeeze Russian and Saudi Arabia’s dependence on high oil prices to bring their noses down to the mud .

Trump will deprive the rights of countries that use its oil revenues to fund terrorism , drug cartels and anti American propaganda and ideology . His gall is to lower global oil prices to $25 .

Trump’s new strategy has been built on a new concept of the rights of the USA by new laws derived from Monroe Doctrine. . No more democracy for failed countries and governments.
